Plaintiff appealed final administrative decision of DCFS, denying his request to expunge indicated finding of sexual abuse as to his 5-year-old daughter. Appellate court will not review propriety of DCFS investigation but only ultimate decision. Testimony of 5 witnesses that child disclosed that Plaintiff touched her private parts provides sufficient evidence to conclude that agency could have found by preponderance of evidence that Plaitniff sexually abused his daughter according to the allegations. (PALMER and McBRIDE, concurring.)
